Tech Spotting in Lady Gaga's "Telephone" Video

Mar 12 2010 - 3:30pm

The much-anticipated video for Lady Gaga [1] and Beyonce [2]'s "Telephone" premiered last night [3]. Clocking in at 10 minutes long, the video picks up where "Paparazzi" left off — with Lady Gaga [4] in jail for poisoning her boyfriend. True to Gaga form, there's a ton of tech in the video: her Heartbeats headphones, a Polaroid camera [5], an HP Envy laptop [6], and a Virgin Mobile phone. Plus, she rocks a few telephone-themed hats (including one made from hair), and even gives a subtle shout out to Dune and Star Wars. Check out some of my favorite shots from the video, and head over to Pop [7] to watch it in its entirety.
